Pretty sure most of the sculpting was done already, the rest was up to Mattel Design, Making the Molds, Factories in China producing and painting the test run, and plenty of other things I have not much knowledge of?

Aren't they constantly changing it to see what they can do? dding stuff, taking stuff away, and lowering that jaw bridge? And then you have communication with the Chinese factory, which is out of their control. Mattel can SAY "Do it by X date or you're fired," but firing them would leave them with no factory at all.

I'm taking this as a good sign
Hopefully it means they're taking their time making sure they address fan requests and fix major flaws in the castle.

That would be nice if that is the case.
Hopefully it's taking them longer than expected to scrap that Wind Raider landing pad inside the castle that seemingly nobody but someone at Matty is asking for.....

Would you rather they said that it wasn't final and that tiny changes can still be made than "This is your Castle people." I am sure he is just covering himself here, its no big deal. Let's wait until we see the thing and see the changes before we get pitchforks...

Well this kind of makes you question the 1 year away and can't make any changes that TG keeps telling us. It's looking like the castle will slip in release date, but isn't it Mattel who has said that legal makes them release all the years items in the year? They can't have it go into the next year?

I believe that is only for Subscriptions that have a date on them (i.e. 2013 Club Eternia). This had a tentative release date, so I don't think it would be a legal issue if it slipped to 2014. I'd rather it be in 2014 if it means they get things right.
